Question

How can you find the density of a substance from its relative density?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Relative density can be calculated directly by measuring the density of a sample and dividing it by the (known) density of the reference substance. The density of the sample is simply its mass divided by its volume.

Answer 2

Answer:

Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a water.

So, Relativedensity=
